Hanna's 9th Birthday!


Hanna's 9th Birthday

Happy 9th Birthday Hanna!
I can't believe that Hanna is 9! I think about the life that she has led to this point and it amazes me. She has lived in 3 countries, started to learn 2 other languages, moved multiple times (twice across the world), has attended 8 different schools (including her preschools), made friends from all over the world, does not see color, language, culture or any other differences as a barrier to keep her from becoming friends with someone, and has adapted to the uncomfortable. Her personality is hard nosed, stubborn, self reliant, confident, kind, loving and caring. She has a hard exterior, but a soft interior. She is smart, really funny, athletic... a good friend, a great daughter and an overall special girl. For her birthday this year, she chose a visit to the zoo, a jump at the indoor trampoline place,  a dinner out with family and a joint birthday trip with Maya to Paris, France (instead of a party- I think we all won!). We love you Hanna- thank you for all you add to our family- keep being exactly who you are! 

Artis Zoo- pretty sure there are monkeys somewhere back there!

Her favorite birthday gift- an electric toothbrush
